[Individual prognosis of chronic B-lymphoid leukemia course]

The characteristics of T- and B-lymphocyte content in chronic B-lymphoid leukemia (B-ChLL) patients with progressing and stable variants of the disease course, and the possibilities of their use for the individual prognosis of the course were studied. A total of 28 patients with stable and 35 patients with progressing variants of B-ChLL were investigated. T-(total and active) and B-lymphocytes were assayed in the spontaneous rosette-formation test. The individual prognosing of stable and progressing variants of B-ChLL course is possible basing on integral evaluation of total and active T-lymphocytes and B-lymphocytes with receptors to mouse red blood cells in two-dimensional parameter systems with counting the summary prognostic coefficient.
